Pepsico Joint Venture To Sell

Ukrainian-Built Vessels,

Update Zaliv Yard

PepsiCo, Inc. has signed an agree- ment with two Ukrainian partners and independently-owned Fram

Shipping, Ltd., to establish a joint venture to market $1 billion worth of Ukraine-built commercial ships over an eight-year period.

The deal is PepsiCo's first in the shipping market. The deal will pool a broad spectrum of shipping, soft drinks and food service under the one operating enterprise, Ukrainian

Development Corporation. It gives the soft drink manufacturer the chance to triple drink sales in

Ukraine and establish up to 100

Pizza Hut restaurants through ex- change credits generated from ship sales.

The Ukrainian Development Cor- poration, with an office in Kiev, will market the commercial ships from the Zaliv Shipyard. The first three to be marketed are 68,000-dwt double-hull product tankers. Zaliv was the first shipyard from the former Soviet Union to manufac- ture such ships.

The joint venture also includes a comprehensive program to fully modernize the commercial sector of the Zaliv Shipyard, making it the first to do so since the break up of the former Soviet Union. Major invest- ments in training, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, design technology and modern manage- ment practices are scheduled.
